Setting Component Properties

Summary: Describes how to set a components properties to dictate how the component will look and behave.

After you place your components on your "Form" in the "Designer", set their properties using the "Object Inspector". By setting a component’s properties, you can change the way a component appears and behaves in your application. Because properties appear during design time, you have more control over a component’s properties and can easily modify them without having to write additional code.

To set component properties

• Select a component on the Tool Palette and drop it onto the form.
• Select the "Properties" tab on the "Object Inspector".
• Set the component properties by entering values in the text box or through an editor. Boolean properties like True and False can be toggled.
